若無讀誦心 無禪無漏盡
雖有比丘形 如是非比丘
寧食蛇毒蟲 及以烊金等
終不破禁戒 而食僧飲食
"If one has no mind for recitation,
No meditation, and no exhaustion of outflows,
Though having the form of a bhikṣu,
Such a one is not a bhikṣu.
Better to eat snake venom and poisonous insects,
As well as molten gold and the like,
Than ever to break the prohibitive precepts
And eat the food and drink of the Saṃgha."
